TOUCHING HEATING ELEMENTS INSIDE THE OVEN.

CONTROL PANEL

OVEN INDICATOR NEON (3)

The yellow indicator neon illuminates whenever the oven

is heating up, so it serves as a guide to the user for

when the oven has preheated. It will switch on and off

during normal operation, as the elements cycle to

maintain the oven temperature.

G107

The oven programmer offers you the following features:

1. Time of Day

2. Minute Minder

3. Automatic Cooking with cook and delay cooking

functions.

We recommend following the guidelines below, to

ensure the best performance from you oven when using

automatic cooking programs,

1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook

and require approximately the same temperature.

2. Set the oven programmer so that the food has just

finished or about to finish cooking on your return

to the oven. This will ensure the food has not cooled

down and does not require reheating before

serving.

3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes

into the oven, ideally straight from the refrigerator.

Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed

thoroughly before it is put in the oven.

4. We advise that warm food should never be placed

in the oven if there is to be a delay period. Stews

prepared by frying the meat and vegetables should

be cooked as soon as possible.

5. We advise dishes containing left-over cooked

poultry or meat, for example

Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically

if there is to be a delay period.

6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow

method, so that the delay period is kept to a

minimum.

7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth

in certain foods (i.e. poultry, joints, etc) the delayed

start should be kept to a minimum.

8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle

during the delay period, so it is best to add these

ingredients just before serving.

9. Foods which discolour should be protected by

coating in fat or tossing in water to which lemon

juice has been added, prior to placing food in the

oven.

AUTOMATIC COOKING

10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full

to prevent boiling over.

11. Foods should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a

container to prevent the loss of liquid during cooking.

Aluminium foil gives a good seal.

12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

G107

COOKING FUNCTIONS

Fan Oven

The oven is heated by an element at the rear of the

oven. Air is drawn into the hole in the center of the ovens

rear panel by a circulating fan, before being forced over

the radial fan element and back into the oven cavity.

This heating system is useful for baking biscuits, cakes,

many small pieces of meat, the accelerated thawing of

frozen foods and preserving/drying fruits and

vegetables.

• The oven heats up quickly but preheating is usually

required. Please refer to the table provided. Food

can be cooked simultaneously on one or two levels.

• If you need to put food in a preheated oven, please

wait until the indicator neon (3) goes off before

putting food in the oven.

• Feel free to use your own cake tins and other smaller

tins.

• As you can insert two or even three trays in the

oven simultaneously (when baking biscuits for

example), this additional economy saving feature

saves on further time and money.

• Baking temperatures are lower, therefore the loss

of nutrition value of the food is reduced, as is also

energy consumption.

Conventional Oven (Top and Bottom

elements)

The oven is heated by elements at the top of the oven

and underneath the floor of the oven.

This heating mode can be used for preparing various

foods: meat, bread, cakes, pies or even preparing whole

meals.

• With this heating system you can only use one level

at a time.

• If you need to put food in a preheated oven, please

wait until the indicator neon (3) goes off before

putting food in the oven.

• Feel free to use your own cake tins and smaller

tins other than the ones included

• When roasting meat please remember that larger

and thicker pieces of meat should be roasted on

the lower shelf position at a lower temperature, and

smaller thinner pieces can be cooked on the middle

shelf position at a higher temperature setting.

• Some 5-10 minutes before the food has completed

cooking, switch the oven OFF. This will save on

energy.

• After roasting is finished and before cutting the

meat; wait for 5-10 minutes; this allows the meat

juices to settle inside the meat.

• You can cook frozen meat without thawing it first,

just bear in mind that the roasting time will be

longer, depending on the size of the meat joint.

Conventional Oven with Fan Assist only

The oven is heated by elements at the top of the oven

and underneath the floor of the oven, with air circulated

by the fan. This heating mode can be used for preparing

various foods: meat, bread, cakes, pies on one or two

shelves.

G107

COOKING FUNCTIONS CONTINUED

Conventional Grilling

This heating system is used for cooking pieces of meat,

not thicker than 3 cm (e.g. steaks, chops, sausages,

fish) and for browning sandwiches, vegetables and

sweet dishes.

Grilling should always be carried out with the door

closed, if damage to the appliance controls and adjacent

cabinetry is to be avoided.

• We recommend that the grill is preheated for 5

minutes before cooking.

• Use meat suitable for grilling and cut it into uniform

pieces. Add spices, brush with oil and place on the

pre-oiled wire shelf. Place the shelf in the top shelf

position and insert the enamel drip tray underneath

the grill. After grilling, add salt if desired, and serve.

• The choice of which shelf position to use,

temperature setting and the grilling time depends

on the kind of meat being grilled as well as the

thickness and quality of the meat pieces. Smaller

and thinner pieces of meat can be grilled using a

higher temperature and positioned closer to the grill

element. With larger thicker pieces use a lower

temperature and place further away from the grill

element. The cooking time also depends on how

well you want your food to be done.

• Turn the food over once after having cooked them

for about 2/3 of the required cooking time.

• Frozen meat should be thawed thoroughly first.

Fan Grilling

This function uses the grill and fan. A uniform air

circulation is created which makes this system perfect

for roasting larger joints of meat (1 kg or more). It gives

similar results to cooking on a rotisserie.

• Preheating is not necessary.

• Place the meat (oiled and salted) on a pre-oiled wire

shelf. Place the shelf on level 2 and insert the

enamel drip tray underneath at level 1.

• You can roast more joints at the same time but only

on one level.

• When roasting, remember that you do need to turn

the meat over in the middle of cooking.

• After the roasting is finished let the meat sit for 10

minutes before cutting it.

Bottom Heat with Fan

Using the bottom heating element and fan is particularly

useful for baking moulded cakes with raisins, brioches,

for warming ready-made dishes and dishes requiring

intensive browning on the bottom.

Use only small-size baking dishes and cake tins with

the rims not higher than the cake. Higher rims prevent

cakes from browning on the top.

Fan Defrost

When the fan only is in operation, air is circulated evenly

throughout the entire oven and is useful for defrosting

frozen dishes that need to be thawed at room

temperature, and will be consumed unheated (cream,

custard pastry, tarts, fruit etc.)

G107

COOKING NOTE

Temperature and Time

When two shelves are used to cook large quantities of

food for home freezing or parties, it may be necessary

to increase the cooking times given in the charts on

page 17 by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat

due to the extra time taken to load the oven, and the

larger mass of food. Baking trays should allow an equal

gap on all sides of the oven.

To prepare Meat and Poultry for Roasting in your

Fan Oven

(a) Wipe the meat or poultry, dry well and weigh it.

Meat which has for been stored in a refrigerator

should be allowed to come to room temperature

before cooking, and frozen meat or poultry must

be completely defrosted before placing in the oven.

(b) The weight of any stuffing used should be added

before calculating the cooking time.

joints weighing less than 1.75kg (31/2 lbs) should

be roasted in a smaller meat pan/tin - or they may

be ‘pot roasted’ - a small joint or a large meat pan

causes unnecessary oven splashing and

evaporation of meat juices.

(d) Additional fat should not be added, except for veal,

very lean meat or poultry which can either be

‘larded’ with fat bacon or brushed very sparingly

with cooking oil or melted fat.

(e) Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be dusted lightly

with seasoned flour to give a crisp outer surface.

The skin of duck and goose should be pricked to

release excess fat during cooking, and the rind of

pork should be scored, brushed lightly with oil, and

rubbed with salt to give crisp crackling.

(f) Meat and poultry wrapped in, or covered with a

tent of aluminium foil will be juicy and tender.

Roasting bags offer the same advantages. Always

follow the manufacturer’s pack instructions, and

remember to reduce the temperatures given for

conventional ovens by approximately 25 C and the

time by approximately 10 minutes per hour.

(g) Potatoes for roasting only require to be brushed with

cooking oil or melted fat.

(h) It is not necessary to baste when roasting in an

electric oven and stock or liquid should not be added

to the meat pan since this only causes unnecessary

soiling, steam and condensation.

Frozen Meat and Poultry

Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted

slowly, preferably in a domestic refrigerator (allowing

5-6 hours per 450g, 1 lb), or at room temperature

(allowing 2-3 hours per 450g, 1 lb).

Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted

before placing in the oven. It is essential to wash

thoroughly and cook meat and poultry immediately after

defrosting.
